I live in a 29 story building. I have 2000 pounds of racks with CPUs in my
"lab" (a room 20' X 20'). I am going to move in another 2-3 thousand
pounds
of minis as I am going through my storage and moving them up here. I am also
picking up more minis from a plant in the US. I am placing the mini racks
along the walls in the hope that there is more support there. A real serious
question I have is... Can a room in a building like this support 5000 pounds
or more? If someone here has experience with this please tell me if this is
okay.
A few years ago a rack of TE16s broke through a wooden basement floor once
(where I was storing some minis) and cracked a sewer line [ yes , what a
mess!].
